Thanks for the info. Good things to b aware of. I'll let the vet take care of it. Have u heard if the oxytocin needs to b given within 24 hr period? I believe things r going well w the pups & mom at present. Even the male who had a difficult start has really turned around

I appreciate every piece of info especially from experience hands, nothing like hands on. I am always looking for experience.
Now I need a son who is a vet! U can send him to my place any time & I can make great desserts.
Tail docking, the next hurdle. I have always taken them to the vet on day 3 but I'm nervous about anything they may get exposed to. I try usually to go w mom & pups. I am considering not docking, last time around I had some one looking for a pup with intact tail. I have a Yorkiepoo that has her tail & I love it. She was one of the reasons I switched from Great Danes to Yorkies.
